What better way to deliver three concealers than with a singing telegram? It's another ‘late night' recording (aka 5pm). Episodes after dark bring extra-silly (but apparently NOT spicy) anecdotes and seven looooong blasts of bits we absolutely beat into the ground! Yes, it's the holiday season, and YES, the PR gets a little out of control. We're fresh off a football-packed weekend with the boys (GO DAWGS!!), two red carpets, and a sequel to the bathroom line saga (IYKYK)!! What starts as an innocent conversation about holiday traditions and gift-giving quickly takes a sharp turn into toilet preferences, bathroom literature, and full-blown face blindness.

What if the future of work isn't about technology at all — but about unlocking more humanity in each other?On today's episode, we sit down with Kathleen Hogan, Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer at Microsoft, and one of the key architects behind the company's cultural reinvention. Kathleen helped lead Microsoft's shift from a “know-it-all” to a “learn-it-all” culture — embedding empathy, curiosity, and growth mindset across a global workforce of more than 220,000 people.In this conversation, Kathleen and Dr. Michael Gervais explore what it really means to lead with humanity. She shares the moments that shaped her leadership — from facing cancer twice, to redefining success through purpose and connection — and the inner work required to help others unlock their potential.In this conversation, we explore:How Kathleen helped Microsoft reimagine its culture from the inside outWhy purpose and empathy are the foundation of effective leadershipHow to build psychological safety and courage in high-performing teamsWhat it means to lead with curiosity instead of certaintyThe role AI can play in empowering — not replacing — human potentialAt its heart, this episode is a reminder that leadership isn't about knowing more — it's about caring more._______________________________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

On this week's episode of The Business of Watches, a frank discussion with one of the most powerful women in the world of horology. Hind Seddiqi is the Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Watch Week, an event that's grown and matured to become one of the few truly top-tier events on the watch sector calendar. As CEO of the biennial gathering, Seddiqi oversees the team that decides which brands get to exhibit their wares, which executives and collectors get to speak on the industry panels, and exactly how the massive show is staged, presented, and organized. This year's Dubai Watch Week was the most successful edition yet and marked a new era of international profile for an idea launched a decade ago by the United Arab Emirates retailer Ahmed Seddiqi as a way to showcase watchmaking and inform locals about the industry. Housed in a new, larger, and purpose-built venue near the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Watch Week 2025 welcomed a record 49,000 visitors this year, a 113% increase from the previous edition. The event, marking the 75th anniversary of the Seddiqi family retail empire, saw a wave of collector groups fly in from around the world to attend a show that offers up close and personal access to many of the biggest names in watchmaking, from Max Büsser to Roger Smith, to Rexhep Rexhepi, and the CEO of A. Lange & Söhne, Wilhelm Schmid. Hind Seddiqi says one of her biggest challenges now is preserving the casual, spontaneous, and intimate feel of Dubai Watch Week as demand for a place at the table continues to rise. She talks about Dubai, its torrid growth (and punishing traffic) and the city's increasingly important role in the international economy and how she plans to manage the demands and expectations of a massively popular event. Want to subscribe so you never miss an episode?

This week on Sinica, I'm delighted to have Iza Ding as guest host. Iza is a professor of political science at Northwestern University and a good friend whose work on Chinese governance I greatly admire. She's joined by Deborah Seligsohn, who has been a favorite guest on this show many times. Deb is an associate professor of political science at Villanova University and was previously a science and environmental counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. This episode was recorded in three parts: the first two in Belém, Brazil during COP30 (the 30th UN Climate Change Conference), and the final segment after the conference concluded. Iza and Deb discuss China's role at the climate summit, the real story behind the famous 2007 U.S. Embassy air quality monitor in Beijing (spoiler: it wasn't China's "Silent Spring moment"), Brazil's management of the conference, why China leads on technology but not on negotiation, and what the outcomes of COP30 mean for the future of global climate cooperation. This is an insider's view of how climate diplomacy actually works, complete with unexpected fire evacuations and glut-shaming of The New York Times.3:43 – Deb's impressions of COP30 and Brazil's inclusive approach 9:21 – China's presence at COP30: technology leadership without negotiation leadership 15:34 – Xie Zhenhua's absence and the U.S.-China dynamic at previous COPs 24:46 – Inside the negotiation rooms: language, politeness, and obstruction 33:06 – BYD's presence in Brazil and Chinese EV expansion 40:54 – The real story of the 2007 U.S. Embassy air quality monitor in Beijing 45:00 – Fire evacuation at COP30 and UN territorial sovereignty 1:22:06 – What actually drove China's air pollution control: the 2003 power plant standards 1:41:27 – The dramatic final plenary and the Mutirão decision 1:55:17 – China's NDC 3.0: under-promise and over-deliver strategySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's episode is a raw conversation I originally recorded on Katja Lillian's podcast. We dive into the financial betrayal that cracked open my Soft CEO Era, the truth about stamina and pressure in entrepreneurship, and the moment I realized money had started to run my life. If you've ever wondered what really fueled my shift into spacious success, this is it.We chat:Why I invited my clients into my home and the power of personal touch in a digital industryThe “eternal flame” of high achievement and how childhood patterns shape driveThe achiever's curse, burnout cycles, and the double-edged sword of ambitionThe explosive growth of 2023 and the emotional crash that followedThe financial betrayal that forced a complete identity reckoningThe lesson that changed everything: when money becomes your masterThe Soft CEO Era, taking Fridays off, delegating more, and making more by doing lessWhy balance is a myth and why life works better in seasonsHow to stay ahead of the market without abandoning what lights you upThe truth about shifting industry trends, one-to-one coaching, and the Secure CEO mindsetThe loneliness of hitting huge milestones and what success really changes behind the scenes

As a coach to independent financial advisors, I see a lot of advisors struggling with the same issue—they blend in with the advisor down the street. And when prospects can't see what makes you unique, it becomes a lot harder for them to understand why they should choose you over anyone else.That's why I loved today's conversation with Glenn Street. Glenn built one of the most differentiated businesses I've ever seen—Street Characters, the company behind many of the most iconic mascots in the NFL, NHL, MLB, and major college sports. But the real lesson from this episode isn't about mascots. It's about how he picked a niche, went deep, and created a level of expertise and service that big competitors couldn't match.Glenn didn't try to be everything to everyone. He focused on a narrow lane, understood his customers better than anyone else, and delivered a product and experience no one else in his space could touch. Advisors can do the exact same thing—especially in a market where most firms look and sound identical. When you specialize with intention, understand your audience on a deeper level, and build a brand that feels unmistakably yours, you become the advisor people talk about, remember, and seek out.3 of the biggest insights from Glenn Street…#1.) Niching Down in a Commoditized IndustryOne of the things I loved about Glenn's story is how he didn't try to compete with the Disneys of the world. He found a narrow lane—sports mascots—and went deeper than anyone else. That's exactly what most advisors need today. When you pick a niche and truly understand the people you serve, you stop blending in and start becoming the advisor everyone talks about.#2.) Core Values Don't Matter Unless You Actually Live ThemA lot of firms have core values, but very few bring them to life the way Glenn does. His team starts and ends their day with them. They use them to make decisions, solve problems, and hold each other accountable. It's a simple reminder that culture isn't something you write, it's something you practice.#3.) The Right Incentives Turn Good Teams Into Great OnesGlenn has built a culture where A-player behavior is recognized and rewarded—whether that's through peer shoutouts, clear performance targets, or a team trip to Mexico when they hit their goals. These aren't random perks; they're intentional systems that reinforce what “great” looks like.

Did you know that the difference between someone who makes a big check and someone who builds long-lasting financial freedom is not their skill? It is what we call the money thermostat. And what sets the thermostat is how aligned you are in your finances and financial mindset. Fear comes in the way of your successes and failures that hold you back even further. But with consistency, hard work, leadership, and strategy in your content and how you manage your team members, you get more aligned in your business and have that momentum to keep going to reach your goals.In this Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos is back with another Accelerator to share a strategy around your money thermostat and how it keeps you stuck or reaching the ranks.You will hear powerful insights and motivation around:Having alignment and momentum in businessBalancing old and new strategiesHaving a fear of success or failureEncouraging a proactive approach in the communityReverse engineering your money mindsetBalazs relates this to having a part-time job while managing a business. If you quit too soon, before you've mastered your systems and your mindset, you risk backtracking, having to find another job because the pressure was too much. This happens to 90% of people who quit too early. But if you wait until you've mastered your internal thermostat and your external systems, you quit from a place of strength.Then, Balazs recommends focusing on what you can control, staying consistent, and proving to yourself that you are worthy of the success waiting for you."You will only have this short runway opportunity for so long, until you are past it and you go full-time in your business, you quit your job, you start traveling, you start doing all this stuff. And then what happens is your relatability starts to get further and further away from the average person." - Balazs W KardosDo not miss the full episode to start building momentum and alignment as you identify the fear that is preventing you from getting your target income level.Want a Personalized Plan for Business & Life Optimization?Book A FREE Call Connect with Balazs W Kardos:WebsiteFacebookThe Diamond Life CommunityLinkedInYouTubeInstagramThe Diamond Life Mentor Instagram

In episode 550 of 'Coffee with Butterscotch,' the brothers take a hard look at online ads and why they rarely deliver the wishlist conversions indie devs hope for. They break down misleading metrics, misclicks, and the high cost of chasing visibility through paid channels. The conversation also gets into conventions and showcases, exploring why in-person events are great for networking and playtesting but often fall short as direct sales drivers. It's a grounded look at where marketing effort actually pays off and where it evaporates into thin air.Support How Many Dudes!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/how-many-dudesTrailer Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgQM1SceEpISteam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3934270/How_Many_Dudes00:00 Cold Open00:12 Introduction and Welcome02:48 The Role of YouTube Shorts in Game Promotion05:32 Understanding Steam's Algorithm and Wishlist Dynamics08:44 Challenges of Scaling Marketing Efforts11:27 Exploring YouTube Ads and Their Effectiveness14:31 Evaluating the Impact of Advertising on Game Visibility19:54 Navigating Google Ads for Game Promotion22:51 Analyzing Click-Through Rates and Conversions26:07 The Efficacy of YouTube Ads29:45 The Illusion of Effective Advertising34:47 The Uncertainty of Marketing Outcomes41:47 Evaluating Events and Conventions43:09 Digital Events and Showcases45:39 The Challenge of Exclusivity in Marketing49:09 Understanding Randomness in Game Promotion51:45 The Cost-Effectiveness of Marketing Approaches55:02 Balancing Development and Marketing EffortsTo stay up to date with all of our buttery goodness subscribe to the podcast on Apple podcasts (apple.co/1LxNEnk) or wherever you get your audio goodness. If you want to get more involved in the Butterscotch community, hop into our DISCORD server at discord.gg/bscotch and say hello! Submit questions at https://www.bscotch.net/podcast, disclose all of your secrets to podcast@bscotch.net, and send letters, gifts, and tasty treats to https://bit.ly/bscotchmailbox. Finally, if you'd like to support the show and buy some coffee FOR Butterscotch, head over to https://moneygrab.bscotch.net. ★ Support this podcast ★

President Trump was on fire in Pennsylvania last night. In a speech that felt like a rally the president reported how the country is back 10 months after the disaster of the Biden administration and radical Democrats. The crowd cheered on President Trump as he lad out the groundwork for all the success to come, not only to Pennsylvania but to the country. Senator Ron Johnson is having a hearing today about another failed Democrat disaster, Obamacare. The hearing is focused on assessing the damage done by Obamacare and the damage is significant. Recent reports from Paragon show there is between 6 million and 24 million cases of fraudulent usage of Obamacare that costs taxpayers $27 billion per year. From phantom accounts to double enrollment to zero-enrollment, Obamacare is a complete failure completely perpetrated by Democrats. There are around 1.6 million people over the 400% poverty line that are looking at some premiums upwards of $30,000 per month. These people need to be accounted for and Senator Ron Johnson has a plan that could make it work. Republican Senators Crapo and Cassidy "Make Healthcare Affordable" plan addresses some of the issues but will not get a Democrat vote to pass. Senator Johnson has publicly stated his support to end the filibuster to get legislation passed before we are looking at another government shutdown. Senator Johnson warns of the Socialist takeover Democrats will reap on this country if Republicans fail to be bold and act now.

SHOW 12-8-2025 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1895 KHYBER PASS THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE FEDERAL RESERVE  BOARD OF GOVERNORS. FIRST HOUR 9-915 The DC Shooter, the Zero Units, and the Tragedy of the Afghan Withdrawal: Colleagues Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss recent violence in Washington, D.C. involving an Afghan immigrant that has drawn attention back to the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021; the shooter, Ramanula Lakanal, was a member of the elite "Zero Units" of the Afghan National Army, a force that demanded priority evacuation for their families in exchange for providing security at the Kabul airport during the U.S. retreat, and while these units were stalwart allies against enemies like al-Qaeda and ISIS, they fought a "dirty war" and were accused of human rights violations, highlighting the broader failure of the withdrawal which occurred because political will faded across multiple administrations. 915-930 The Vetting Failure and the Lack of an Exit Strategy in Afghanistan: Colleagues Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggioexplain that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was exacerbated by the lack of a methodical exit strategy, unlike the British who organized their departure and evacuation lists well in advance; critics argue that the U.S. imported significant security risks by rushing the evacuation, bringing in over 100,000 Afghans without adequate vetting, and while there was a moral obligation to help those who served, experts suggest that wholesale importation of citizens from a war-torn country was not the only solution and that better vetting or resettlement in third countries should have been considered. 930-945 Martial Law in South Korea and the Shadow of the North: Colleagues Morse Tan and Gordon Chang discuss South Korea facing severe political turmoil following President Yoon's declaration of martial law, a move his supporters argue was a constitutional response to obstructionist anti-state forces; the opposition, led by figures previously sympathetic to North Korea, has been accused of attempting to paralyze the government, while accusations of "insurrection" against President Yoon are dismissed as nonsensical, with the political infighting fracturing the conservative party and leaving South Korea vulnerable to the North Korean regime in a way not seen since the Korean War. 945-1000 Japan Stands Up for Taiwan While Canada Demurs: Colleagues Charles Burton and Gordon Chang report that Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi recently declared that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be a "survival threatening situation" for Japan, authorizing the mobilization of self-defense forces; this statement has triggered a massive propaganda campaign from Beijing demanding a retraction, as a successful invasion of Taiwan would likely require violating Japanese sovereignty, while in contrast Canada remains reluctant to support Tokyo or criticize Beijing, hoping to secure trade benefits and diversify exports away from the U.S., leaving Japan isolated by its allies. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 The Survival of UNRWA and the Flow of Terror Finance: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotterreport that despite investigations revealing corruption and ties to terrorism, the UN has renewed the mandate for UNRWA for another three years; the organization's facilities have been used by Hamas and its schools have been implicated in radicalizing children, yet international efforts to replace it have stalled, while Hamas leadership refuses to disarm or accept international oversight, demanding a Palestinian state as a precondition for any change, with financial support for terror groups continuing to flow through networks in Europe and the Middle East. 1015-1030 Greece's "Achilles Shield" and Israel's Iron Beam Laser Defense: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter report that Greece is undertaking a historic modernization of its armed forces, unveiling a new national defense strategy focused on long-range missiles and a modernized air defense system dubbed "Achilles Shield," allowing Greece to project power more flexibly in the Eastern Mediterranean and counter threats from Turkey; in Israel, a major defensive breakthrough is imminent with the deployment of the "Iron Beam," a laser defense system capable of intercepting threats at approximately $50 per shot, expected to rewrite the rules of air defense by effectively countering drone swarms and missiles. 1030-1045 Hezbollah's Quiet Regeneration Under Naim Qassem: Colleagues David Daoud and Bill Roggio report that since the ceasefire began, Hezbollah has received at least $2 billion from Iran and is actively rearming and regenerating its forces in Lebanon; the terror group is focusing on acquiring drone swarms and other asymmetrical weapons that are cheap to produce and difficult for Israel to counter, while Hezbollah's new leader Naim Qassem is leveraging his "bookish" and underestimated persona to lower the temperature and allow the group to rebuild without attracting the same level of scrutiny as his predecessor. 1045-1100 Fragmentation in Yemen: The Southern Transitional Council Advances: Colleagues Bridget Tumi and Bill Roggio report that the civil war in Yemen is fracturing further as the Southern Transitional Council, which advocates for southern secession, advances into eastern governorates to secure territory and combat smuggling; this move has heightened tensions within the anti-Houthi coalition, as the STC is backed by the UAE while other government factions are supported by Saudi Arabia, weakening the collective effort against the Houthis who control the capital Sanaa and maintain ambitions to conquer the entire country. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 The Druze National Guard and Internal Strife in Southern Syria: Colleagues Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio report that instability is growing in Syria's Druze-majority Suwayda province, where a newly formed "National Guard" militia has begun arresting and killing political opponents; the militia is spiritually guided by Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, who has consolidated power by sidelining other Druze leaders who were open to reconciliation with the Assad regime, with Turkey expressing support for the anti-Assad Druze factions against both the Syrian government and Kurdish forces, while recent violence suggests a hardening of anti-regime sentiment. 1115-1130 The "Variable Geometry" of the Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Affiliates: Colleagues Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio explain that the Muslim Brotherhood operates as a "mothership" for various Islamist movements, utilizing a strategy of "variable geometry" to adapt to local political environments while aiming for a global caliphate; Hamas functions as the Palestinian branch of the Brotherhood and despite being severely damaged by the war with Israel remains the dominant force in Gaza, with the Brotherhood finding state sponsorship primarily in Qatar, which provides funding and media support via Al Jazeera, and Turkey, where President Erdogan acts as a leader for the organization. 1130-1145 Ukraine Negotiations Hit a Cul-de-Sac Amidst Infiltration Tactics: Colleagues John Hardie and Bill Roggio report that peace talks regarding Ukraine are currently at a standstill, with the U.S. and Ukraine at odds over Russia's demands for territory in the Donbas versus Ukraine's need for meaningful security guarantees; while the U.S. has pressured Ukraine to concede territory, the security assurances offered are viewed skeptically by Kyiv, and Russia refuses to accept any Western military presence in Ukraine, while on the battlefield Russia employs infiltration tactics using small groups, sometimes single soldiers, to penetrate deep into Ukrainian positions. 1145-1200 The Trump Corollary: Reviving the Monroe Doctrine in Latin America: Colleague Ernesto Araújo discusses a new "Trump corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine reshaping U.S. policy in the Americas, signaling a more assertive stance against foreign influence and authoritarian regimes; this shift is evident in Venezuela, where President Maduro appears to be negotiating his exit in the face of U.S. pressure, while in Brazil the administration of Lula da Silva faces significant instability due to a massive banking scandal linking the government to money laundering and organized crime, with the new application of the Monroe Doctrine suggesting the U.S. will favor political figures aligned with its security strategy. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Devil's Advocates: Robert Stryk, Rudy Giuliani, and the Business of Influence: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel discusses how in the power vacuum created by Donald Trump's arrival in Washington, unconventional lobbyists like Robert Stryk rose to prominence by marketing access to the new administration; Stryk, described as an "anti-hero" with a checkered business past, hosted a lavish event at the Hay-Adams Hotel to legitimize the regime of Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo, successfully delivering Rudy Giuliani as Trump's personal attorney, signaling a new informal channel for foreign diplomacy and highlighting how foreign regimes utilized large sums of money and unconventional intermediaries to seek favor. 1215-1230 The Accidental Diplomat: Robert Stryk and the New Zealand Connection: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that Robert Stryk's rise in the lobbying world was fueled by serendipity and bold bluffs, exemplified by a chance encounter with a New Zealand diplomat at a cafe; the diplomat revealed that New Zealand, having prepared for a Clinton victory, had no contacts within the incoming Trump team and could not arrange a congratulatory call between their Prime Minister and the President-elect, and Stryk, leveraging a connection to a former Trump campaign field director, provided a phone number that successfully connected the embassy to Trump's team, establishing his credibility and launching his career in high-stakes foreign lobbying. 1230-1245 Hunter Biden, Chinese Spies, and the Monetization of Political Connections: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel reports that following his father's departure from the vice presidency, Hunter Biden faced financial pressure and sought lucrative foreign clients, leading to risky entanglements; one venture involved a corrupt Romanian real estate magnate who hired Hunter along with former FBI Director Louis Freeh and Rudy Giuliani to resolve his legal troubles, with the proposed solution involving selling land including the site of the U.S. Embassy in Romania to a Chinese state-linked fund, and Hunter Biden was aware of the nature of his associates, referring to one as the "spy chief of China." 1245-100 AM FARA: From Fighting Nazi Propaganda to Modern Transparency: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that the Foreign Agents Registration Act was originally enacted in 1938 to counter Nazi propaganda in the United States before World War II; at the time, the Third Reich was paying well-connected American consultants to whitewash Hitler's image and keep the U.S. out of the war, operating without public knowledge, and Congress passed FARA to create transparency, requiring those paid by foreign principals to influence the U.S. government or media to register their activities, with the law remaining today the primary vehicle for accountability in foreign lobbying

Do you sometimes over-rely on data to cover yourself instead of trusting your judgment? Episode 257 of At The Table explores why leaders often cling to data, certainty, and predictability—even though business is inherently messy. Pat and Cody discuss how fear of failure drives over-analysis, slowing decisions and weakening judgment. Ultimately, they argue that great leadership is an art fueled by instinct, courage, and human interaction—not algorithms or metrics.Topics explored in this episode: (03:15) Data vs. Instinct in Real Business* Why instinct and common sense dominate real executive decision-making.* The human tendency to return to predictability even when it repeatedly fails.(06:29) When Data Misleads and Context Matters* How statistical predictions often fail to capture real-life variables.* How leaders hide behind numbers to avoid personal responsibility.(09:13) The Power of Seeing the Problem Directly* How over-reliance on data can obscure common sense and slow down problem-solving.(11:40) Business as Art, Not Science* The modern trend toward treating business as a purely scientific discipline.* Why instinct and integrative thinking will never be replaced by either data or AI.This episode of At The Table with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.

“When you go to these associations' websites, they don't have robust staff…it's not hard to find them. You can directly engage with them and talk to them about an event that's coming up. You can identify, ‘You have a fall conference coming up. I'd love to chat with you and see how I can best support you on that.'” This week on The Speaker Lab podcast, host Grant Baldwin sits down with industry expert and regular guest Erick Rheam for a deep dive into one of the most powerful avenues for speakers: associations. If you've ever wondered what an association is, why they matter to your speaking business, or how to break into these lucrative networks, this episode is your roadmap.Throughout their conversation, Erick and Grant peel back the layers, starting with a clear definition of associations and moving into the different types.

3 Choices When You're Thinking About Starting a Cash PT Clinic In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down the real decision points for clinicians who are thinking about starting their own cash-based practice. He explains why staying stuck in "research mode" is dangerous, what it actually takes to make the leap, and the three clear paths you can choose—staying employed, going solo, or getting guided support. Quick Ask If this episode helps you get clarity on your next move, share it with another clinician who's on the fence about starting a practice—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can see what resonated with you. Episode Summary Claire math: If Claire saves a staff PT 6 hours/week, even using 3 of those for patient visits at $200/visit can add ~$30k/year in revenue per clinician. Why decisions feel awful: Danny compares making a big move (like starting a clinic) to knowing you're about to throw up—you dread it, but feel better once it's done. The real problem: Most people hide in endless "learning" (podcasts, books, courses) instead of making an actual decision. 3 choices you actually have: Stay in your current role and own that decision. Go the DIY route and figure business out alone. Get guided support from people who've already done it. Who shouldn't start a clinic: Highly risk-averse, conflict-avoidant, or extremely introverted clinicians may be better off in a great employed role. The trap of DIY: Going solo usually means slower progress, more expensive mistakes, more stress, and more risk for your family. The case for mentorship: Guided support is like residency/fellowship for business—it speeds up results and increases your odds of success. Why this is serious: Your business is how you pay rent, buy groceries, and take care of your family—treat it like it matters. Decision purgatory: Staying stuck in "maybe" is the worst place to live—nothing changes, and frustration grows. Lessons & Takeaways Indecision is a decision: Avoiding a choice is still choosing—the status quo wins by default. Acceptance can be powerful: If you stay employed, own it, and aim to be world-class—not secretly resentful. DIY has a cost: You'll likely spend more time, more money, and experience more stress figuring everything out on your own. Guided support = faster, safer: Proven systems and mentorship are like insurance for one of the biggest financial decisions of your life. Business is a skill set: Just like clinical skills, business skills can be learned with the right teachers and reps. Mindset & Motivation Stop chasing greener grass: Comparing yourself to other owners while doing nothing is a recipe for misery. Own your path: Whether you're an employed PT or a clinic owner, commit to excellence in the lane you choose. Respect the risk: When your business feeds your family, being "proudly stubborn" is not a strategy—it's a liability. Decisiveness is a superpower: Successful entrepreneurs make decisions, take action, and adjust as they go. Pro Tips for Clinicians on the Fence Be brutally honest: Do you truly want to be a business owner, or do you just want a better job? Know your wiring: If you hate uncertainty and change, ownership may not be the right move right now. Count the real cost: Time, money, stress, and impact on your family—not just the price of a program or course. Treat support like insurance: Mentorship isn't cheating; it's reducing the odds that you crash your business (and savings) in the first few years. Get out of research purgatory: Podcasts and books are great—but only if they eventually lead to action. How Claire Fits In Save clinician time: Claire is saving staff clinicians about six hours a week on documentation. Turn time into revenue: Even converting half that into extra patient visits can generate ~$30,000 per clinician per year. Protect your team: Use tech to increase volume without burning clinicians out. Try it free: Test Claire with a 7-day free trial at MeetClaire AI. Notable Quotes "If nothing changes, nothing changes." "For some of you, you have no business starting a clinic—and that's okay." "Guided support is basically residency and fellowship for your business." "Purgatory for your future is endlessly gathering information and never making a decision." Action Items Decide your lane: Are you going to stay employed, go DIY, or pursue guided support? Audit your reasons: Write down why you actually want a clinic—is it meaning, freedom, income, or all of the above? Count the risk: Look at your family, your bills, and your responsibilities. What level of risk are you really willing to take? Set a deadline: Give yourself a hard date to decide and take your first concrete step. Explore support options: If guided help makes sense, look into programs built specifically for cash PT clinic owners.

Lately, I've been hearing from so many practice owners who are feeling the shift in the economy, and I want you to know—you're not alone. Things have changed. The phones aren't ringing like they used to, and it can feel unsettling. But this is a season that calls for flexibility, curiosity, and compassion for yourself. In this follow-up conversation, Julie and I shift from last week's heavier economic outlook to something far more supportive: real-world strategies therapy practice owners can use right now to steady the ship. “What I'm seeing specifically is the practice owners that are really successful in adapting and again, solo to group, they are themselves adaptive. They're saying, this feels different and I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm going to go figure it out." - Julie Herres Sometimes that means rolling up your sleeves and stepping back in to see more clients, so your practice stays healthy. Other times it means experimenting with new marketing, reconnecting with referral sources, or gently adjusting your fees based on what your community can sustain right now. Adapting Your Practice in Tough Times: Marketing, Flexibility, and Smart Money Moves In this episode, you'll hear about the shift we're all feeling in the therapy world—from years of burnout and endless demand to today's reality of fewer calls, more price sensitivity, and a need for smart adjustments. Together, we walk through mindset shifts, flexible scheduling, fee strategy, and practical marketing ideas that help you stay grounded and profitable when the numbers feel uncertain. (00:03:40) Shifting Focus to New Challenges (00:07:23) Overcoming Rock Brain Mindset (00:09:55) Embracing Change in Business (00:13:31) Adaptive Practices Drive Success (00:19:29) Pricing vs. Client Retention What matters most is staying present and using your data to guide your choices. None of this is a step backward—it's you responding wisely to what's actually happening. And you're more capable and resilient than you think. You can navigate this season with steadiness and intention. Here are 5 key takeaways for anyone running a therapy practice (solo or group): 1. The Pendulum Has Swung Over the past few years, many of us were carrying the weight of too many clients and too much demand. Now, things are quieter—and that can feel disorienting. I'm noticing that our challenge has changed, and that's okay. It just means we're being invited to look at our practices with fresh eyes and meet this season with intention instead of fear. 2. Flexibility Matters More Than Ever Some of the boundaries we put in place to protect ourselves during busier times might need gentle revisiting right now. This isn't about abandoning what keeps you well—it's about allowing yourself to respond to what your practice needs in the moment. Sometimes that means taking on a few more clients or asking for more support from your team, just for a little while. It's okay to shift. 3. Know When You Need Quick Wins There will be moments when the most supportive thing you can do for yourself and your practice is bring in income quickly, like opening up your caseload if you're in demand. And there will be other moments when slowing down to work on the business makes more sense. Both are valid. The key is noticing what's needed right now and giving yourself permission to act on it. 4. Curiosity And Adaptability Are Strengths What I'm seeing again and again is that the practice owners who are navigating this season smoothly are the ones who are staying curious. They're trying things, tracking what works, and letting go of what doesn't. Small experiments, gentle adjustments, and...
